bruises, contusions In this sentence, a short list of possible injuries after a skydiving accident is described. Two of the items are “broken bones” and “a gash,” which means your blank should be a physical injury different from those two. A good fill-in would be bruises. Torpor (a state of physical inactivity; apathy, lethargy), trauma (physical injury; shock following a disturbing event or injury), finesse (skillful or adroit handling), and lesions (wounds, ulcers, tumors, etc.) include no synonym pairs. In addition, finesse is not a physical symptom, as are the other two pieces of evidence given in the sentence, while torpor is a physical condition but not an injury.
